Paper Lovee

Atlanta rapper/vocalist Paper Lovee (born Ibnisa Durr) worked on his craft in an extremely secretive manner before ever setting foot in a recording studio. At a young age, the aspiring rapper would demo vocals and song ideas in friends' bathrooms and closets, keeping his material close to the vest as it developed. After a stint in prison, Durr put his full focus on his rap career, releasing sounds under the name Cashset Paper for a time before debuting as Paper Lovee with his 2016 single "Why Wait." Walking the line between hyper-confident rap and melodic vocal stylings, he followed with several singles before releasing the emotionally searching, R&B-tinged "Here 4 Ya" single/video in spring of 2018. ~ Fred Thomas
